Scarborough man, 24, fatally stabbed in scuffle
Becomes Toronto's 71st homicide
Woman injured slightly during attack
By Ben RAYNER, Staff Reporter With files from Amy
BROWN-
BOWERS,
Canadian Press
An apparent scuffle in a Scarborough basement ended in a fatal
stabbing and the city's 71st homicide of the year early yesterday.
Police found the male victim face down and bleeding from multiple
puncture wounds in the driveway at 50 McGregor Rd. The body was
discovered near an unoccupied car after police received a call
at 12: 40 a.m. that two men were fighting in a basement residence.
The man was taken to Sunnybrook Health Science Centre but was
pronounced dead an hour later.
Police yesterday identified the deceased as Mohamed
HUSSIEN,
24, of Toronto.
A woman at the scene -- identified by neighbours as a resident
of the basement -- was taken to Scarborough General Hospital,
where she was treated for facial bleeding. Police said her injuries
were not serious and she was expected to recover.
An attacker, described only as "male" and allegedly seen running
from the house, is still at large. Police are urging anyone with
any information that might assist in identifying the killer to
come forward.
Both males had been visiting the basement apartment, according
to neighbours.
A steady trickle of neighbourhood residents passed by the crime
scene yesterday, pausing occasionally to chat with officers stationed
in a patrol car outside the yellow police tape draped around
the squat bungalow and an adjacent property.
One man emerging from the house next door to the murder site
said he'd come by to check on his mother, who was finally able
to get to sleep.
"Quite understandably, she's a little shaken up," he said.
"She's had a rough night."
Members of the public with possible information on the crime
are asked to contact Det. Sgt. Mark
SAUNDERS or Det. Hank
IDSINGA
